Trouble using gift-cards outside of the US to by items on Envato

Here’s a situation I recently ran into with a customer. Here was her problem…

Question from XO2Craft: I’ve tried to use a gift card to download several of your styles but it Never works even when I tried to go thru PayPal. Is there another way to use a Visa gift card to purchase your styles other than Envato? I am told the reason I can’t use a gift card on Envato is because the type of gift card can not be used for purchases made from sites outside the US. Even if I go thru PP.

The solution we came up with was a work around. Since she couldn’t use her card in my store on Graphic River I posted the items in my new Etsy Store and Viola! Problem solved. So if you are drooling over any items and can’t get payment to work through Envato/Graphic River, just let me know and I’ll expedite getting that item into my new Etsy (I’ll even let you know when it’s up).
